NONE BUT AMERICANS ON GUARD.
A New Party Which VIII be Founded
on Wholly American Ideas.
| PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.-The Press to-
morrow will say During the celebration of
| the constitutional centennial in this city a
preparatory convention will be held at which
delegates from thirty eight States will be
present. A call for this convention has al
ready been drafted by body known as "the
American National committee" composed of
some twenty or thirty men. Although this
| COMMITTEES has been working very quietly,
| they have been for year in active CORE
| spondence with more or less prominent peo-
pie throughout the country and have laid
foundation for solid party organization.
They claim among their numbers over fifteen
hundred thousand members of societies whose
purpose is to inculcate purely American
ideas, some of which are survival of some
of the know-nothing organizations of 1854.
General Master Workman Powderly is a
prominent member of this new party and has
given utterance to its principles. The prin-
ciples all start out from one central idea
the restriction of immigration. The Septem-
Der convention will devote itself to formula
ting a scheme to effect thorough organiza-
ton of State, county and township commit
tees and will call a convention to be held
next July, probably in this city, when candi-
dates for president and vice president and
State tickets will be put in the field.
THE WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Favorable weather In the Corn Belt
But Too Much Rain in Parts of tho
Gotten Section.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The following is
the weather crop bulletin of the signal Office
ended August 20: Temperature-Duringt the
week ending August 90 it has been slightly
warmer than usual throughout the southern
States and the Ohio valley, and cooler than
usual throughout the lake region and the
upper Mississippi and the Missouri valleys,
the average daily temperature in the last
named district ranging from two degrees to
four degrees below the normal In New
England the Middle States and on the Pacific
coast, the temperature differed but slightly
from the normal The daily average tenn
perature for the season from January to
August 20 has ranged from one degree to
three degrees above the normal in the central
valleys and it has been slightly cooler than
usual at stations on the Atlantic and Pacific
tana.
Rainfall-During the week the rainfall has
been in excess generally throughout the corn
and tobacco regions and the north
east portion of the cotton region and
in northern New England, while there
has been less than the usual amount of rain
in the lower Mississippi valley, on the Middle
and South Atlantic coast, in Arkansas and
the southern portions of Missouri and Kan
sas and from Lake Superior westward to
Dakota Well distributed rains have oc-
the a. m. reports to-day show that rain
continues in this region. The large deficiency
in the rainfall for the season, ranging from
five to fifteen inches in the Mississippi val
ley, has been slightly reduced in the north
ern States and augmented in the southern
States during the past week, the only sec
lions reporting an excess of rainfall for the
season being northern New England, central
portions of the Middle States, southern Da-
kota and the North Pacific coast.
General remarks-The weather for the
week has been favorable throughout the corn
belt, the recent rains having greatly improv-
ed the condition of that crop, but owing to
the lateness of the rains in the principal corn
producing States the yield will probably be
below the average. In the cotton region
from Alabama westward to Texas the weather
has improved the crop conditions and the
conditions and the cotton harvest is progress
ing, but more rain would benefit the crop in
the central portions of Arkansas. In North
and South Carolina excess of rainfall is
reported as unfavorable for the cotton crop.
The weather has been generally favorable for
all crops in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia
and in the Middle and New England States.
In Minnesota the uncut crops were improved
and harvested crops damaged by rains.
